Film history’s greatest cine-essayist mixes the playful and the political as he investigates a mystery: What is the meaning behind the grinning graffiti cats proliferating around Paris? In inimitable Chris Marker style, what he discovers yields rich and unexpected insights into the state of contemporary France and its post-9/11 political reality, offering a poignant postscript to 1977’s Grin Without a Cat.
